Vortex Avalanches and Collective Motion in Neutron Stars

We simulate the dynamics of about 600 quantum vortices in a spinning-down cylindrical container using a Gross–Pitaevskii model. For the first time, we find convincing spatial-temporal evidence of avalanching behavior resulting from vortex depinning and collective motion. During a typical avalanche,...
